Voice activated menus, which you probably use regularly, was made possible by using the technology also developed by Mr. Draper.

Where Did the Nickname Captain Crunch Come From?

John Draper was nicknamed Captain Crunch because he used a toy whistle that came in a box of cereal to carry out one of the most interesting phreaking tricks. In a nutshell, the trick was that Captain Crunch could disconnect one side of a phone line whilst the still connected side of the line could enter an operator mode.

What possibilities this could give, you can give imagine yourself.
